Paperback. One of two inaugural titles in the new UQP Creative Economy + Innovation Culture series - 'new knowledge for the new economy'Following on from his groundbreaking The Creative Economy in 2001, John Howkins' new book grew out of a research project for the Chinese State Council. Asked to provide a global overview of the creative economy, he took the opportunity to go back to first principles and work out a general theory that identifies three general conditions for a creative ecology- talent, freedom and markets. From this he proposes an evolved concept of the creative ecology. This is leading thinking for a new knowledge economy.

Riassunto

Continuing to build on subjects previously explored in The Creative Economy, this investigative study applies ecological principles to the concepts of creativity and innovation, arguing that creativity is a fundamental part of being human and showing that it can be applied to free thinking and the overall development of new ideas. Demonstrating how creativity depends on a mixture of environmental conditions, such as diversity, change, learning, and adaptation, this radical combination of physical and creative economies provides a holistic, visionary model for anyone who wants to think independently, develop new ideas, help maintain and develop society at large, and work for the greater good.
